FY 2019 Adopted Budget Press Release
Highlights
- No increase in real estate tax rate. The real estate tax rate will remain at 1.006 per $100 assessed value, the same level as CY 2018 (including stormwater tax).
- The 3.9 percent increase in residential property assessments in 2018 means that although the real estate tax rate will not rise, the average homeowner will see an increase in taxes and fees from $8,446 to $8,742, a $296 or 3.5 percent increase.
- The Board provided $1.6 million more in public safety compensation, citing the need to compete in an increasingly tight labor market to attract and retain police officers, firefighters and sheriff deputies.
- The County Board provided $500.8 million in ongoing funding for Schools, fully funding the School Board’s Proposed Budget.
